The life of Sarah Huttington, a young smart girl, who goes to Pasadena, in order to attend a wedding, has been turned upside down, when she hears a rumor that the book and movie of ' the Graduate' based on her family, the thing that leads her to travel to San Francisco to reveal the truth.
A romantic comedy with all the excitement of an AARP magazine cover story and negligible chemistry between Aniston and Costner. Given talk of infertility, let it be said "Rumor" is a series of rocky places in which comedy’s seed can find no purchase.
Becalmed in this ghastly, would-be comedy, Aniston can do little to mitigate its ickiness.
